This is a one to two hour overview where we explore the history, content, and philosophy of the 6+1 Traits of Writing. Research studies are shared which demonstrate the effectiveness of the model to improve student writing performance. We provide insights about how to keep the 6+1 Trait writing model thriving in the long term and advice about how to support teachers in the short term. Invite your school board, key members of your parent community, or anyone else who is interested in writing instruction. Interested? Contact us by email or phone for more information.
